Impacted crop

Ok, do you have a way to isolate Lilly because if she keeps eating she’s not going to get better. Keep up with the coconut!

Yes i will put her in the pen Fluffer face was in tomorrow. I will definitely keep up with the coconut oil how often should I do that?

Don’t put her in with fluffer faces poop! That was the point of isolating fluffer face.

I’m not 100% sure but I would do 2-3 times a day.

When can I stop isolating Fluffer Face? Because I don’t think Fluffer face likes drinking in the separate coop because I haven’t seen her drink in there and instead drinks from trees and puddles and in the big waterer

Ok perfect

Drinking from muddy puddles might be why she got coccidiosis in the first place. Does fluffer face seem 100% better? When that happens wait a week clean all her poop out of a coop or whatever.

Can you post pictures of fluffer faces setup? That would be greatly appreciated.

I agree yet for some reason they prefer puddles over their drinking water. She seems to be better from coccidiosus but her colors and comb have not come back from molting and being broody for 3 months. The pen is quite small so I’ve been cleaning it daily. I tried to add some enrichment because it is small.

I haven’t taken the food away yet. It goes flat and then I think she eats more.

Please check her crop first thing in the morning before she's had anything to eat/drink. If it's empty, that's a good thing.

The crop is going flat, then she eats more and you feel food in there right? That's normal.

She may be having difficulties with laying eggs? Perhaps?

Her crop did not empty overnight again. She had nothing to eat but coconut oil and some mashed up pellets to get her to eat it. She could be having difficulty laying in addition to her impacted crop but she definitely has that. I got a separate pen for her as well.
